4 BARRIERS STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR PERSONAL BEST PERFORMANCE

Sadly, your Sports Energy Product is likely failing to address these:

MAXIMAL PERFORMANCE, a glass ceiling. Your body’s peak performance limitations based on your genetics, training and fitness level.

RECOVERY, ability to quickly and completely recover.

HEALTH and well-being, maintaining a solid foundation. 

AGING, physiologic changes of aging, performance vampires.

These are the obstacles SmartAthleteFuel addresses naturally through plant and exercise science

A small taste of the 65 cited research articles behind SAF's ingredients:

* 13% decrease in marathon times, J Int Soc Sports Nut.2016;13:22.(@1).

* 47% reduction in lab markers of muscle breakdown post marathon.(@1).

* Faster muscle strength recovery post event, Nutrients.2016;8:441.(@2).

* 50% reduction in upper respiratory cold symptoms post marathon, J Int Soc Sports Nut.2015;12:22.(@3).

* Improved duration & quality of sleep, Eur J Nutr.2011;8:909.(@4).

An Oasis In The Ultra-Processed, Ultra-Hyped Energy Food Space

SmartAthleteFuel & BeetSmartAthleteFuel are radically different from main stream, empty calorie, energy products that attempt to address your body & mind's complex physiologic demands with cheap refined sugars, additives & marketing hype. SmartAthleteFuel (SAF) & BeetSmartAthleteFuel (BSAF) address your entire physiologic demands: focus, energy, performance, recovery & foundational well-being simultaneously, not just energy. That's evolutionary. To accomplish this SAF uses custom, Natural, SuperFood concentrates meticulously, grown, sourced & minimally processed to preserve micro & phytonutrient bio-functionality. This attention to detail is unheard of in the food industry today but yields real & lasting results. Volumes of research attest SAF's plant nutrients could help support your performance, recovery & well-being physiology concurrently. All done in a Cherry-Maple-Matcha Love Affair, taste experience their users rave about. Both Athletes & Non-Athletes alike welcome their versatility. Mix in 10-20oz H2O as an energy drink, hot as a tea or use as an energy gel shot. They're a great mixer with sparkling water, spirits & even a topping on granola, yogurt & ice cream, yum! A holistic, SuperFood lift supporting your mind & body's physiology in sport, work & pleasure. Real Food, Real Science, Lasting Results!

What customers are saying about SAF

My gold medal performance at the 2022 World Masters in the 30km Classic race stands out for me...after crossing the finish line, I felt as if I could have raced another 15km lap ! I seemed to have boundless energy! I am convinced SmartAthleteFuel was a major factor in my success! Thank You Dave

Never used a product that brings my mind and body into the game like Smart Athlete Fuel. I play smarter and stronger with this onboard. My recovery time is shorter. Love the taste and the ability to use it as a gel or drink.
